Category: Super Food Ideas

Given that September is almost over, I thought I would quickly squeeze in a mag o’ the month. If the month was September 14 years ago. However take a step back in time with me as we flick through the pages of Super Food Ideas.

Brain Teaser

This alphabet soup was featured in the August 2002 edition of Super Food Ideas. Can you solve it?

The Food

I made four recipes from this Mag starting with:

Ricotta Wafers

This came from the Weekly Menu Section and was classified as an entrée. I ate mine for lunch and it was a great quick lunch idea. Ricotta with herbs mixed through served on crackers with tomato and avocado.

Another lunch idea was this:

Ploughman’s Lunch

Now, without wanting to seem too smug. That ploughman’s lunch you see above?

I made that bread. From scratch.

I also made the chilli jam that you can see between the bread and the lettuce.

And those pickled onions? I made them too.

Because I am fucking awesome. And because we’re doing preserving this month at Tasty Reads.

See? Not smug at all.

Quick Sushi

Ok, before anyone tries to stage an intervention, just know that I haven’t started boozing on brandy in my lunch hour. That Remy bottle was just the right size to put my soy sauce in.

Chargrilled Fish With Tarragon Salsa

The only thing I made that wasn’t a lunch was this lovely dinner. The fish and salsa were really good. Not so much the potato thing I had with it which was from that horrible Mexican book.
